Bratmobile, Bikini Kill, Sleater-Kinney, The Specials, The Misfits, Bad Brains, The Pixies, The Cramps, and Bauhaus. Everything we've ever failed at, hated, loved, cried over, shouted at, flipped off, hugged, kissed, were jealous of, wanted, had, lost, and succeeded in.
Sounds Like
We play what sounds good to our ears. Energetic music WE would get up and dance to, not giving a fuck what genre our music falls under. This is NOT your 4 chord guitar, root note bass, same drum beat band. Weve got inspired guitar, girl vocals, kick ass drum beats and lots of b-a-s-s bass. (Seriously, we LOVE to turn the bass up WAYYYY high.) Other than that, get our cd and you tell us!
Monster-Sized Monsters wants to prove to you that we are determined to do something new, uncatagorizable, and exciting in a world where every thing's been done before. We want to start something big, we want to make an impact. And if we don't, we sure as hell are going to have a fantastic time trying. Come be a part of that. Come to a show and remember what it's like to have a good time.
